Chapter 770 My Best Onmyoji [against my will.]

As you continue deeper into the forest path, the scenery becomes increasingly desolate and heartbreaking.

It was no longer just a matter of vegetation withering due to the invasion of monsters; instead, there were countless enormous wooden stumps lying across everyone's field of vision!

These wooden stumps, which require several adults to encircle, have relatively flat cross-sections.

Without a doubt, these are traces left by former loggers.

Aside from Kidomaru, who already lived in a barren land, everyone else felt depressed and heavy-hearted when they came across this seemingly endless forest graveyard.

The characters Kaoru and Komatsumaru were particularly touching.

They are monsters living in the forest, which is a paradise, a sanctuary, and their most cherished home for these two little ones.

“I will absolutely not allow Seven Corner Mountain to become like that.”

The mischievous and clever Komatsumaru was unusually serious. Her lips were tightly pursed, her fists were clenched, and a strong desire seemed to leap from her bewitching eyes.

Just as his conviction surged, Huang's hand gently landed on the little glutton's head.

The sudden touch of a hand on his head made Komatsumaru's furry ears twitch. The gentle warmth and concern made him lift his face to look at the Onmyoji beside him, a complex emotion flickering in his demonic eyes.

It is humans who indiscriminately cut down forests.

Her Onmyoji master is also human.

Although he clearly understood that the two could not be directly equated, the scene before his eyes made it difficult for him to let go of it quickly.

But just as their eyes met, a firm promise reached the little one's ears:

"My family and I will also help Komatsumaru protect Mount Shichikaku."

"We will absolutely not allow Seven Corner Mountain to turn into the same situation as here."

The words immediately brought a shimmering, touching look to the little guy's bright eyes.

She knew it!

I know that Lord Huang beside me is different from those greedy lumberjacks!

However, even though she was deeply moved, she did not express her emotions as urgently as she had before.

"Onmyoji, Komatsumaru is no longer a child."

She raised her small hand, and then lifted the large hand that was gently ravaging her head.

This response, so different from Xun's, made Huang Wei pause for a moment before smiling slightly.

That little rascal!

But before he could respond, the little guy started talking to himself again:

"On behalf of everyone at Seven Corners Mountain, I thank you for your promise, Onmyoji-sama."

At this moment, his mature demeanor was completely unlike the mischievous and gluttonous boy I remembered. Instead, he was the person in charge of Shichikakuyama after Ichimokuren and Yamakaze left.

However, the special senses that this little thing gave Huang shattered in the next second.

"In return,"

"In order to lure me out of my confusion, you promised to let me taste the flavor of an Onmyoji, but I'll just forget about it."

Upon hearing this, a silent, cold smile involuntarily appeared on Huang's lips.

Squirrels really can't stop eating pine cones.

Whether this little thing is confused or awake now, it's always thinking about eating me!

"No, there's no need for that,"

"I don't need your reward, and I believe that Komatsumaru, the strongest demon of Shichikakuyama, can definitely resolve this situation on his own."

"This is a fork in the road, so let's split up from here. Of course, you can choose first."

Seeing the little guy who was putting on a righteous act but was still glancing at him out of the corner of his eye from time to time, Huang naturally didn't go along with it and directly proposed to go their separate ways.

This response instantly shattered the confidence on Komatsumaru's face.

It should be noted that even the monsters on the periphery caused it considerable trouble, let alone the source of the filth.

In the end, it certainly won't be me eating those nasty monsters like pine cones; instead, I'll become a delicious snack, the kind that comes to me willingly.

"What's wrong? Does the mighty Komatsumaru want us to choose first?"

"Alright."

Huang ignored the little guy's sudden drop in expression and continued speaking cruelly.

As he spoke, he also observed the two winding paths leading into the depths of the forest in front of him. Due to the previous swarm of monsters, the remaining aura in the air had become extremely faint, and there were no wind talismans to guide the way as there had been on the previous journey.

It's unclear whether it's because Ichimokuren's power is nearly exhausted, or because he doesn't want Kaoru, Komatsumaru, or the other small monsters of Shichikakuyama to follow the wind talisman's guidance.

Even though there were no obvious signs at the scene, the faint traces left behind were enough for him, as a ninja, to figure out the direction he needed to go next.

Especially the relatively deep four-legged kicking marks imprinted on the ground.

[Damn it, damn it, that Onmyoji!]

[You made the promise yourself, I didn't force you, so why are you going back on your word so quickly?]

[So stingy! So incredibly stingy!]

This is just bullying the honest little squirrel!

Looking up at the Onmyoji beside him who was no longer paying attention to him, Komatsumaru muttered to himself, feeling wronged.

She really wanted to back down.

After all, if a tiny, cute, and helpless little squirrel like myself were to venture into the depths of a forest teeming with monsters, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But this wasn't her fault, so why should she take the initiative to back down?

As for running away now...

No, I am a part of Seven Horns Mountain. How can I cower and run away when my companions are moving forward?

The only solution right now is for the Onmyoji beside me to back down.

Honestly, I already said I wasn't going to eat anymore.

She looked pitifully at the instigator who had 'broken' the agreement, but the other party completely ignored her gaze.

Sensing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Xun quickly whispered in her friend's ear:

"Komatsumaru, no, no, Lord Ara never agreed to that kind of thing."

"Those words were spoken carelessly under the influence of the demons. Lord Ara even tapped you on the head for them before you woke up."

The introduction alone caused Komatsumaru's demonic eyes to widen, and the expressions on his face became increasingly varied.

Because it's impossible for Xun to deceive herself!

What should we do? What should we do?

[It's all those wretched monsters' fault for revealing her true feelings. Now she's going to be thrown away, boohoo.]

The little guy looked up at the silent Onmyoji beside him, and after a brief moment of thought, he raised his little hand, took the other's lowered hand, and placed it on his little head.

It seemed to be a silent signal that she was wrong and shouldn't leave him alone.

Ara, who had sensed all of this, snapped out of her reverie after finding the footprints of the deer-man.

His gaze fell, and seeing the little guy's pitiful appearance, he decided not to continue. After giving the clever little guy's head a good rub, he prepared to continue along the path on the left.

"Keng."

Just then, a metallic clanging sound rang out from the depths of the forest. Although the sound was very faint and lasted only a brief moment before disappearing, it was still very faint.

But it can't be wrong!

After all the monsters that had emerged from the depths of the forest were wiped out, my senses and auras became much clearer!

The person who suddenly appeared on the edge of perception was...

"Goo."

A weak voice rang out; it was an owl.

Upon understanding the spirit's voice, Kaoru's adorable face tensed up instantly, and she immediately turned to the Onmyoji beside her and said anxiously:

"It's Brother Shanfeng! Lord Huang! Brother Shanfeng is right ahead!!"

Although it was impossible to discern the other party's condition from that brief voice, they were undoubtedly deeply involved in the battle!

"Ok, I know."

"Let's go help him."

Ara responded decisively, but even faster than him was Kidomaru. He only felt a cold wind sweep by, and he disappeared from the spot while standing outside the crowd. Suddenly, a clear and eerie sound of chains cracking appeared all around him.

“Owl must be very tired right now, I’ll take you there.”

As he spoke, Ara pulled his hand out of Komatsumaru's hand, picked up Kaoru, and instantly flew towards the source of the metallic clanging sound.

Since monsters have already appeared even on the outskirts of the forest, leaving this little guy behind can no longer be considered safe.

Moreover, she must have been very concerned about the safety of Shanfeng.

In an instant, the fork in the road that had been left open became empty. Oh, no, there was still a little squirrel muttering to itself.

"Those demons are so powerful that they were able to uncover my hidden thoughts. It seems I can't eat things indiscriminately anymore."

"Thank goodness the Onmyoji tapped me on the head and brought me back to my senses, otherwise my little schemes might have been revealed..."

[Hmm? Knock?]

Suddenly, she remembered what Xun had said in her ear, and her dazed eyes slowly widened as she gradually regained her sense of self-reflection.

[That damned Lord Ara said it was about fighting monsters!]

[You lied to me again!!]

"Wait, where did they go?"

She was about to make a accusation when she suddenly realized that she was all alone. Looking around, she suddenly saw her companions rushing into the depths of the forest.

Immediately, Komatsumaru felt a sense of panic.
